Beer Glasses

Beer Glasses are a type of glassware designed for both serving and drinking beer. Beer Glasses can vary in size and shape depending on how they are being used and the type of beer they are meant to hold. The overall shape of Beer Glasses also ranges depending on national or regional traditions, commercial uses, or even cultural expression.
Some Beer Glasses are tall and have a stem, while others are small and are made up of a bowl. Using Beer Glasses to drink beer activates the other senses and makes drinking a more enjoyable experience. Beer Glasses are traditionally made of glass, but can also be made from pottery, pewter, and wood.
The number of glasses of beer in a keg depends on the size of a keg, but typically a half-barrel has 165 glasses of beer that are 12 ounces each or up to 124 glasses of beer if each glass is 16 ounces. A quarter-barrel has about 82 glasses of 12 ounces each.
You can frost beer glasses to create a more enjoyable drinking experience by placing a wet beer glass in the freezer and making sure that it doesn’t touch anything so it frosts correctly. You can also cover the beer glass with wet paper towels and then place it in the freezer.
There are different beer glasses because different glass forms can highlight the various flavors within a beer. Beer glasses are designed to accentuate the different characteristics of a beer and affect the aroma of a beer, the taste, and the amount of beer someone drinks each sip.
